Character Corner Home with Renovation Potential in Yerseke Village Center
Key Features
Description
Located in the heart of Yerseke, this characteristic corner house is offered for sale by R+ Makelaardij. The property is situated on Irenestraat and was originally built in 1942, giving it a distinctive architectural character typical of its era. The house presents itself as a renovation project that offers considerable potential for buyers looking to create a personalized living space in a well positioned village setting.
The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that provides access to the staircase leading to the upper levels. From the hall, you enter the living room which is described as compact yet atmospheric, positioned at the front of the property facing the street. The living space offers a cozy atmosphere that could be enhanced significantly with appropriate modernization efforts.
Adjacent to the living area is a utility room that houses the washing machine connections. This practical space leads through to the kitchen, which is currently finished in a basic manner but offers substantial possibilities for different layout configurations. The kitchen provides ample scope for a new owner to design and install a modern kitchen that suits their personal preferences and cooking habits.
From the kitchen, a portal area leads to the separate toilet facility and continues into a sunroom or conservatory at the rear of the property. This additional living space serves as a pleasant spot with views overlooking the backyard, offering a connection between the interior living areas and the outdoor space. Such a feature adds valuable extra square meters to the ground floor and creates a versatile area that could serve various purposes depending on the new owner's lifestyle and needs.
The heating system on the ground floor consists of gas heaters, which is worth noting for buyers considering the property. Hot water is provided by an Intergas gas boiler that was installed in 2020, representing a relatively recent update to the property's systems. The sanitary facilities are currently limited in scope. Aside from the separate toilet on the ground floor, there is a shower cubicle installed in the utility room. The current configuration does not include a proper bathroom as such, and the listing agent suggests that the logical approach would be to convert one of the three bedrooms on the first floor into a full bathroom facility.
Moving to the first floor, the property contains three bedrooms of varying sizes. These rooms currently serve as sleeping quarters but would benefit from modernization to meet contemporary standards of comfort and finish. The arrangement of three bedrooms on this level provides flexibility, particularly since the recommendation is to repurpose one of these rooms as a bathroom. This would leave two bedrooms on the first floor, which may be sufficient depending on the buyer's household composition and requirements.
Above the first floor, a second floor level consists of a substantial attic storage space. This area provides valuable additional storage capacity that helps compensate for any space limitations in the main living areas. The attic could potentially be further developed or improved depending on the new owner's wishes and applicable building regulations.
The exterior of the property includes a backyard that has been designed with low maintenance in mind, featuring predominantly paved surfaces. This practical approach to the outdoor space means that ongoing garden maintenance requirements are minimal. The garden is complemented by two storage sheds that together provide substantial space for storing garden equipment, bicycles, tools, and other items that need to be kept out of the main living areas.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property currently holds a G energy label, which indicates that there is significant room for improvement in terms of insulation and energy performance. The listing does mention that the property benefits from mostly double glazing and wall insulation, suggesting that some energy efficiency measures have been implemented over time. However, a comprehensive renovation would likely include further improvements to insulation, possibly roof insulation, and potentially an upgrade to the heating system to improve both comfort and running costs.
The property has a total living area of 76 square meters, with an additional 10 square meters of other indoor space and 11 square meters of attached outdoor space. The plot size measures 141 square meters, and the total volume of the building is 305 cubic meters. These measurements indicate a relatively compact home that makes efficient use of the available space.
Yerseke itself is described as a lively village with a good level of amenities and services. Within close proximity to the property, residents can find a supermarket, schools, and churches among other facilities. The village offers a community oriented lifestyle while still providing access to essential daily services. Additionally, the nearest railway station is located just a few kilometers away, offering connections to surrounding areas for those who commute or wish to travel further afield.
Parking at the property is available through public parking facilities in the surrounding area, as the property does not include dedicated private parking. This is typical for properties in village centers of this age and character.
The structural condition of the property is described as good, which is an important consideration for a renovation project. This suggests that the fundamental building elements such as the foundation, walls, and roof structure are sound, allowing the new owner to focus their investment and efforts on modernization and updating rather than addressing major structural concerns.
In summary, this corner house in Yerseke represents a renovation opportunity for buyers who are prepared to undertake a comprehensive modernization project. The property offers a solid structural foundation, a practical layout with potential for improvement, and a location in a well served village environment. The combination of ground floor living spaces including the conservatory, the upper floor bedroom configuration, the storage facilities, and the low maintenance garden creates a package that could be transformed into a comfortable and personalized home with appropriate investment of time and resources.
